Interactive and Collaborative Data Management in the Cloud Magdalena Balazinska Assistant Professor University of Washington
Introduction • Assistant Professor - University of Washington • PhD from MIT in February 2006 • Advisors: HariBalakrishnanandMike Stonebraker • Topic: distributed stream processing engines • Research area: databases and distributed systems • Microsoft Research Faculty Fellow 2007
Vision - 2006 • New world • Millions of heterogeneous sensors • Petabytes of data • Real-time, streaming, distributed data
Pervasive computing applications Scientific applications Neptune project @ UW http://www.neptune.washington.edu RFID-based tracking @ UW http://rfid.cs.washington.edu Computer systems and network monitoring load level Mobile sensor network @ UW http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/yanokwa/ time Sensor Deployments
Research Questions • Combining live and archived stream data processing • Processing and querying data streams in near real-time • Archiving and accessing historical data streams • Querying both simultaneously • Managing noisy, sensor data • Managing data errors and ambiguity
Live and Archived Stream Processing • Moirae system, CDM framework, and MCStream algorithm • Complex event clustering in streaming fashion Event context Event • Applications: Any type of monitoring applications • Ex1: Computer network monitoring • Ex2: Sensor-based monitoring

Blue ring is ground truth Managing Noisy Sensor Data Antennas Approach: build a probabilistic model At 10am, the doctor was either in room 525 (25%) or the hall (75%) At 10:01am, she was in room 525 (30%) or the hall (70%) Enable sophisticated queries over the model If the doctor goes from her office to her patients’ rooms and back to her office, generate a “doctor round” event
Managing Noisy Sensor Data • Lahar: Complex event processing over Markovian streams • Streams with probabilities and correlations • Indexing techniques for Markovian streams • Approximation and compression of Makovian streams • RFID Ecosystem: building-scale RFID deployment • 8,000 square meters, 7 floors, and 160 distinct locations • 67 participants with more than 300 RFID tags • Cascadia: Event specification, extraction, and management

How Did My Fellowship Help? • Funding is a chicken-egg problem • In order to get $$$, must have preliminary results • In order to get preliminary results, must have $$$ • This can be rather stressful! • Fellowship enables risk-taking • I believe X is an important problem! • But I don’t yet have money for it…. And what if the reviewers don’t like it? Can I take this chance? • Yes! Can use fellowship until other funding becomes available!
Vision - 2009 • Sciences are increasingly data rich • Scientists need effective tools to manage data • Storage, Analysis, Organization, Sharing • Existing database systems do not meet scientists needs
Use-Case: Astronomy Simulation • Studying evolution of structure in the universe is difficult • Astronomers rely on large-scale simulations (TB of data) • Universe is modeled as a set of particles (gas, stars, dark matter) • Particles interact through gravity and hydrodynamics • Simulator outputs a snapshot of the universe every few timesteps • Astronomers analyze these results
Research Questions • Long term: Data management as a service for scientists • Short term: Runtime Query Management • How can we facilitate large-scale data analysis? • Can we enable users to manage their queries during execution? • Short term: Offline Query Management • Can we develop tools to ease query composition? • Can we promote query sharing and reuse?
Runtime Query Management Project name: Nuage Parallax: Accurateprogress indicator for Pig/Hadoop Efficient clustering algorithm for Dryad (written in DryadLINQ) Parallax Perfect
Offline Query Management Collaborative Query Management System (CQMS) Smart Query Browser Improves query reuse
